Calm, composed, and clinical, Shumah latched onto a well-weighted through ball from Noel Manyanga before expertly guiding it past the goalkeeper to hand Dynamos the lead, a goal that ultimately defined the outcome of the encounter.

The former Kakamega Homeboyz forward once again proved his growing influence in Southern Africa’s top flight, extending his red-hot scoring run to three goals in just three days.

Earlier in the week, he had already announced his return to form with a brilliant brace against Mines United, underlining his ruthless consistency in front of goal.

The latest strike takes his season tally to 18 goals, placing him just one shy of Jesse Were’s 19-goal benchmark, as he closes in on a historic Golden Boot charge.

His form has now opened an eight-goal gap at the summit of the scoring charts, firmly positioning him as the frontrunner for the Golden Boot award in his debut campaign.

Beyond individual brilliance, the victory carried major significance for Dynamos.
